Lessons to Educate

[EffyDearest]

Adalia stood dazed momentarily, thinking a bit more about the classes she could take. She did have only three on her roster. It wasn't like she had a lot to do at the manor. Aside from dribbling up and down the lessons she had, at least. And there was going to have to be a lot of time spent in her room to play games.. but eventually they would be boring, wouldn't it?

Her mind stumbled for a moment to the thought of actually ballroom dancing. She had definitely never done that before, nothing of the sort. She tried to think of a time she had even danced as a child but it didn't come to mind. But the prospect of looking elegant while gliding across the floor sounded nice. In her mind she was being led by a fancier woman than herself and ending in embrace. Hm.

"Never danced before but it sounds somewhat fun, I guess~"

Meanwhile Yomi looked shot. She.. was going to ask his parents? That wasn't going to work! His mouth hung open for a moment while he collected a response.

"W-Well.. b-but.." was all he could really stammer. "I don't know how to swim and I'm not trying to learn it!" he seemed blindsided a bit hard. His cheeks got a bit hot and he looked back down, shaking his head. "Nevermind.." Not having been to an actual school before he had assumed it would be like his private lessons- skipping whichever seemed menial to him. As he looked quietly back up there was a blatant frown taped to him.

Christina nodded to Adalia, "Very good, I will make note of it and have a message sent to inform your father of your desire to add it to your lessons, as you are eighteen you can choose your own courses, there is no need for him to sign off on it, contacting him is just a courtesy" she stated

Hearing Yomi suddenly get angry at her informing him he wouldn't be able to change his lessons without first contacting his parents, Christina's eyes narrowed slightly, "Young man, your classes were decided and signed off on by your parents, as you are under eighteen, by law I am required to inform them of any changes to your education and they have to sign off on it, and I do not appreciate you raising your voice in my office." she said her voice stern, "It is your parent's wish that you learn how to swim, and to that extent you will be taking swimming lessons here at the manor, we have two indoor pools and one outdoor diving pool, each is well equipped and well maintained, I am sure that once you have tried, you will find you quite enjoy swimming, it is a pleasurable pass time as well as good exercise." she stated her voice softening hoping to placate Yomi to avoid him making a scene which would result in her punishing him before she even had a chance to clarify with them whether or not they knew of the manor's disciplinary practices.

[EffyDearest]

Adalis blinked at Christina's response, looking down to Yomi. It would have been a shame to watch him get yelled at, but he appeared remorseful, quickly backing off. She noticed how his frown shook a bit and he had to look down some. Aww. She looked back at Christina, mind instantly pushed back to dancing. Did she really want her dad to know about that? Ugh, if she had a choice then she would keep it secret, keep it away from a dinner discussion later on in life. She would mention that in a moment, however.

Yomi's head bobbed up and down slowly in an agreeing nod. He felt a bit exposed and embarrassed, not meaning to be taken so rudely. He could easily see how, though. Once he was collected he met Christina's gaze again. "Sorry. I didn't mean to." His apologies were a bit mumbled, though he did mean it some.

"Sooo.... can you not tell my dad we added it, then? It'd be a nice surprise for later down the road.." Adalia added, keeping the train running.

[La Fay]

Christina nodded, "very well, just do not let it happen again, next time, I will be forced to discipline you for such actions, something I can guarantee you wouldn't like" she stated before looking back to Adalis.

"Hmmm, I can agree to that. Informing him would have been a courtesy, nothing more, as your tuition fee here wouldn't change with adding a new class, there is really no need to tell him about it" she explained.

"now before we continue any further, I need to make sure of some things," Christina stated, "I need to know if you are both aware of my Manor's discipline policies when it comes to students and younger staff members such as my two daughters?" she asked as they breached the subject.

[EffyDearest]

Yomi's cheeks grew very hot again; he looked down and away from them both to avoid being noticed. He hadn't been disciplined before, but he knew it would have been beyond his embarrassment to be punished, especially by people he didn't know. Yomi liked to think of himself as a good boy who only occasionally mouthed off, not someone who had to be reminded to behave.

Adalia and Yomi both looked at miss Christina with curious and more cautious looks. They looked at each other to confirm the confusion. It seemed Yomi hadn't been warned and Adalia never bothered listening to her parents anyway.

"Uhhm, no ma'am," Adalia responded sweetly. "I assume it's nothing big? I mean.. it's a school."

Yomi stayed very silent.

[La Fay]

Christina shook her head, "I see, well alongside the standard disciplinary practices that normal schools use, such as detentions, lines, loss of privileges etc, the manor also has a very strict regime of corporal punishments for those who break the rules or act inappropriately. Ranging from a simple hand spanking to a stern caning, and everything in between, of course, all punishments are given on the bare bottom as well for maximum effectiveness" she explained

she then looked to Yomi, "Young man as you are twelve you are of the age where punishment with both light and medium implements are allowed, which your parents signed off on, light implements include a hand, a ruler, a wooden spoon and a rubber soled slipper. Medium implements are a wooden backed hairbrush, a long-handled bath brush, and a wooden paddle, both with and without holes, the use of the heavy implements which are the Riding crop, Strap, Belt, Taws (tawse), carpet beater, Cane and Switch, are also allowed should you break the rules of the manor that have them listed for the punishment, at that point I would be required to contact your parents and request their permission to use the heavy implements because of your age" she informed him

then looking to Adalia, "And as you are eighteen, you are subject to all implements for punishments, without the requirement of calling your father for permission" she said finally.

[EffyDearest]

Now both of them looked shot. Yomi couldn't speak up a response, only thinking now about what could have happened if he snapped back at her one more time. S-She really wouldn't have done anything in front of Adalia would she? Yomi actually wanted to back that thought up- she wouldn't actually do anything, would she? He was starting to quickly think 'yes, yes she would.' He tried to look to Adalia only to see she had the same expression he did, though hers seemed a bit off in comparison, not necessarily as scared as him. If anything she seemed curious, but he couldn't understand. A paddle? Without holes? That.. that just sounded menacing enough.

Yomi couldn't very much believe that his mother and father signed off on something like this. Surely.. surely he hadn't really been that bad with his constant refusals and insults to previous instructors!? He had to gulp softly, knowing it was going to be a hard battle against himself. Never being spanked before he assumed it was bad enough, and then assumed it was worse than he thought.

The worst of it was the idea that she would actually call and tell his parents that she spanked him? How would that even go? 'Oh, hello miss Luvineri. Yes, your son is in the corner waiting to know if I have your permission to use this tawse on him..' N-Nooo.. that sounded scary!

Adalia had an eyebrow raised up in wonder. This woman was going to try to spank her? Sheesh, at least a movie and dinner first, right? She didn't even notice it but her hands gently rubbed her bottom in anticipation of a spanking that wasn't even going to occur until she became aware and stopped.

"Damn that's not gonna be fun.."

[La Fay]

Christina took in both her students reactions seeing Yomi with the look she expected, one of shock and slight fear, as expected for a boy his age, before she looked to Adalia and couldn't help but blink seeing the older teen rub her bottom through her skirt with a look of anticipation on her face... and that was when Christian realised what she was looking at and couldn't help but suppress a smirk, before she decided to test the theory.

"Alright then, I believe that will conclude our meeting, Yomi, if you would like to return to the entrance hall where you entered the building, i will call Violet to come and give you a tour, myself and Ms. White here have some other matters to discuss that do not concern you" she said gently to dismiss the boy from her office so that she could have a private chat with her.

[EffyDearest]

(oh my god i slept too long lol)

It wasn't being dismissed that threw Yomi off.. it was the words she chose. Her tone and temperament switched up on a dime, it seemed. She obviously had a goal with Adalia, right? He wasn't exactly trying to find out. His little legs hurried him out of the room and back down to the entrance hall.

All he could think about was getting a spanking. What would she have done for his earlier outburst? S-Something bad, and painful? N-Noo! He reached the front and stared at the floor mostly. It wasn't going to be an easy year if he couldn't behave. But that didn't.. make him sad. He looked a bit angry actually, starting to now be annoyed with his parents. He heard them scream and shout on the phone at people all the time, how come he was in a state where talking back was going to be challenging? A scowl stuck to his face as he waited for Violet.

Adalia stared Miss Christina down, tilting her head some. She wasn't sure what to immediately make of it- they go from talking about spanking to.. t-to.. Christina dismissing Yomi and keeping her. But she hadn't been, well, actually naughty yet. Her twiddled her thumbs together and looked as innocent and cute as posible.

"Did I do something?"

[La Fay]

after Yomi left the room Christina made her way to her desk and lifted the phone there and dialled one, and waited a few seconds, "Hello Mr. Williams, yes can you send Violet to meet one of our new students in the entrance hall, and give him the tour, I'm just finishing up talks with the older of our two newest additions, yes that's all thank you" she said before hanging up and turning to Adalia just in time to hear her ask if she dis something wrong giving what amounted to a very innocent look, but one that didn't phase Christina in the slight as she gave a small smile and started over to her.

"no not necessarily, i just thought you'd like to have a little chat alone, considering how eager you looked earlier when I was talking about punishments" she said as she made it to the arm of the sofa and leaned on it a she looked the young woman up and down, "I can tell about someone who enjoys a good hard spanking when I see them, or at least is eager to try and find out, but right now what I'm interested to know is which one are you?"

-.-.-

the door to one of the staff rooms opened in the staff area as a young woman stepped out she had shoulder length dark brunet hair and deep hazel eyes, figure and clothing wise she was dressed in s knee-high black maids outfit with short sleeves and frills she had a slender figure, wide hips and a decent bust hidden under her uniform, and a forty centimetre long wooden ruler slotted in the band of her apron.

As she entered the corridor closing the door behind her she started forward to carry out her orders, this young nineteen year old was Violet Carter the eldest of the Carter sister Maids of the manor and was heading to meet with one of the new arrivals on her adoptive mother's orders.

Exiting the corridor via the left-hand side double doors to the Entrance hall Violet instantly spotted the young boy waiting for her, looking rather annoyed.

Violet started forward with a smirk, “hey kid, I take it you’re the one I’m supposed to meet here and show around? Names Violet.” She smiled at the kid as she walked over to him
